Graeme Gentry
A registered nurse, I now work as a procurement lead within the NHS in Croydon. I am married to Caroline; we have one teenage daughter. Caroline and I are trustees of a local charity called Sharing Lives that aims to share the love of Jesus with the vulnerable. We love supporting the seniors in our community through events like Holiday at Home each summer.
Born into a Christian family, I stopped attending church at the age of 15. God brought me back to Himself 20 years later when I realised that because Jesus died to save me from an unavoidable judgment, this demanded a life changing response from me.
Matthew Palmer
Thanks for contacting us! We'll be in touch soon.
We aim to respond within 48 hours but this may vary during holiday seasons.
Matt became a Christian as a teenager at a Christians in Sport camp. He studied Sports science at university and loves anything that involves running around outside. More than sport and the outdoors, Matt loves getting to know Jesus better and helping others do the same. This led him to train to be a pastor and become part of the team at CEC.
Matt is married to Catherine and they have a daughter called Immy. As well as playing sport, Matt spends his time watching films and drinking coffee. He also loves Lord of the Rings and so is a big believer in second breakfast!

Daniel has been an elder at CEC for about ten years and has been involved, amongst other things, in leading small groups and on the mission core team. He is currently seconded to CEC's sister church, Emmanuel Epsom.
He is married to Ruth and they have three boys. They are also foster carers, usually for babies, so please excuse Daniel if he looks tired or has an unseemly stain on his shoulder. He enjoys foreign language films, board games, travelling and reading.
Bob Robinson
STAFF CARE / KC Board Chairman
Bob and his wife Anna became members at CEC in 1985 after Bob moved to the area to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry. After joining the YPF team, Bob was asked to become an elder in 1989. He took a sabbatical from his work to help set-up The King's Centre. In addition to supporting two Small Groups his heart is to see the sustained development and care of staff in his role as Chairman of the HR Committee.
He loves to holiday with his family cruising the highways of the USA, and spending time with his three young grand-children.
Ernie Graham
HR/KC Board Member
Ernie is a dairy farmer's son from Northern Ireland where he met and married Karen (a GP); they have three teenage children. Within the church, Ernie is a member of the HR Committee which supports the church and King's Centre staff. He is also a King's Centre director, a director of the Surrey Care Association and a Trustee of Christianity Explored.
Ernie is motor sport fanatic so if you see someone doing a hand-break turn into the King's Centre car park, it's probably him!
Paul Dalton
Disability & CHILDREN / YOUTH Oversight
Paul, was for many years one of the long arms of the law. Upon leaving the Police, he completed a year on the CEC ministry training scheme. Within the church, Paul has oversight of the Disability (& Carers) core team, is a Small Group leader and is part of the youth work team. He is married to Jayne (who manages our cafe) and they have two adult children.
Paul loves adventure, both reading about it and in the great outdoors - however, he considers his greatest adventure to be following Jesus!
Jon Akhurst
Football, EVANGELISM & SUNDAYS
Jon describes himself as an ageing, expanding old sporty type with a few working parts! He grew up in Cambridge and came to Chessington in the 1990's when studying at Kingston Uni, where he met his wife, Jules. They have a son and daughter. Jon and Jules were both heavily involved in the youth work for many years. Jon is Assistant Head of Shrewsbury House Prep School in Surbiton.
A sport fanatic, Jon has managed the very successful Chessington KCFC 1st XI for many years.

Apart from spending time with his family, Ben loves to create things - either drawing cartoons or comic strips, graphic design or building something with wood. The last thing he made was a full sized retro arcade machine (for the kids supposedly!)
Youth & Families Pastor
Gareth came to know Christ at a school CU camp and this together with time spent as a teacher fuelled his desire to get involved in youth ministry. He increasingly came to see that youth ministry needed to dovetail with work amongst parents. Appointed as Youth and Families Pastor in 2009, Gareth, together with his wife Joanna, experience the daily challenge and blessing of pastoring their own flock of four at home.
Sport is his release, and he can be sometimes seen as a lycra blur cycling along the Leatherhead road.

Who Am I This Time?
by Andre Semenchuk | Staff Writer February 5, 2014
Published: February 5, 2014 Last Updated on February 3, 2014
>>The Indiana Repertory Theatre's production of Kurt Vonnegut's "Who am I This Time? (& Other Conundrums of Love)" is a spirited, quick-witted and wildly colorful presentation of some of Vonnegut's lesser known and tamer short stories. The play weaves together three unrelated stories into an overarching narrative, with the gaps between stories being filled by music and monologue. While it is not necessarily canon Vonnegut, the stories come together in a way that is just as seamless as the actors' movement on stage, constantly changing the scene with the simple addition of a single prop or a few words from a cast member. The energy never dissipates due to the cast's energy. Because the play is based on short stories, the telling of the stories differs vastly from typical plays. The play is hilarious, thoughtful and incessantly warm. The production runs until Feb. 23. Tickets and information can be found at irtlive.com. And so on.

What seems to be Tamago sushi are in reality egg sponges placed in addition to cheesecakes that are coated with rice pops. There are six forms of salads. This recipe provides you with yummy hot caramel macchiato.
Vietnamese food has ever been a personal favourite. Superior food and friendly staff go a very long way with me. Overall the meal is quite tasty and might be the ideal value meal in town. Locating an inexpensive meal at Orchard Road can be a massive challenge. The Chinese food is much better than you get in the majority of casino buffets, and there is not anything terrible about these values! Don't forget, it's far better eat decent quality food in little amounts.
If you visit a restaurant in Spain and request a tortilla, they aren't likely to bring you the flat, flour pancake as though they would in the USA. All 3 great breakfast restaurants are chains, which usually means you will have the ability to enjoy them when you're on holiday in Cape Town as well. Nowadays, the cafe is still famous for its excellent macarons, albeit in a rainbow of colours and flavors, and the dessert is now a rage throughout the world. Egg3 Cafe is situated at a location where you'd never expect to discover a cafe at all-right smack in the neighborhood of educational businesses and institutions. There are a few cafes, where you're able to observe some foam in addition to a latte.
Lunch timemay demand a sandwich special. Aldi has a double money-back guarantee. Aldi also carries various organic spices and seasonings which are over 60 per cent more affordable than that which you would pay at a conventional grocery shop or even at Target. Aldi doesn't have a check-cashing support. Unlike traditional grocery stores, Aldi doesn't have a vast collection of health and beauty aids along with vitamins and nutritional supplements. It's quite difficult to rate a specific coffee brand as the greatest instant coffee.
Getting organic, it's a healthful coffee option, and in addition, it qualifies as a Kosher product. Picture the convenience you are able to afford now. The normal Aldi store is just 10,000 to 11,000 square feet. Most Aldi stores have a aSpecial Buysa section as well as their variety of normal grocery solutions. There is additionally a cute gift shop and cafe should you need to await the next ferry back to Manhattan.
Who's managing our nearby breakfast spot. Whichever place you decide on, you will delight in these good breakfast spots. This place is totally the very best Vegan hangout in Liverpool. It resembles an excellent place to live because it has a kind of rural charm, and you receive good views of the city. When traveling to the Bronx Zoo make sure to plan enough time to find the entire zoo. Should you do, you're not likely to be successful. Then, below are some basic recipes for you.
Of late, in the us, cappuccino doesn't consist of milk. Because coffee is a perishable products, freshness is essential to quality. Since that time, it has become one of the most traded commodities in the world, second only to oil. Iced coffee is just one of the most well-known drinks that lots of us like to drink on such hot days. In addition, the tea and cakes are amazing. You might find it tricky to prepare this drink, as it is about the ideal espresso shot that needs an equally perfect foam to top it.

The color of a fossil species is often its greatest secret, its pigmented tissues having decayed and returned to the earth long before its discovery. An anomaly in this pattern was the recent reconstruction of wing coloration from color-producing structures discovered in the wing scales of 47-million-year-old fossil lepidopterans (moths and butterflies) recovered from the Grube Messel oil shales in Germany.
The study, which was published in the journal PLoS Biology and involved researchers from the United States, Ireland, and Germany, is one of the first to describe the preservation of structural color in fossil lepidopterans. Structural color is responsible for the iridescent qualities of many beetles, birds, and butterflies.
The biological architecture that supports structural color is different from the mechanisms underlying pigmentation and from macrostructures capable of producing light and dark tones, which have been described in the wings of some fossil lepidopteran specimens. In moths and butterflies, structural color is imparted by modifications in nano-sized wing scale components (one nanometer = 10-9 meter). For example, there may be alterations in the spacing between tiny ridges or between stiff structures called microribs on the wings.
Nano-level changes in lepidopteran wing architecture influence the physical interaction between light waves and the wing surface. Such modifications create what is known as a biophotonic nanostructure. Other nano-sized biophotonic structures known in nature include nanochannels and nanospheres. The blue color of the little blue penguin is the result of feather barbs made up of dense bundles of keratin nanofibers that reflect and scatter light of blue wavelengths. In lepidopterans, biophotonic structures are made from a polymer called chitin, which is similar to keratin in function.
Biophotonic nanostructures fulfill an important ecological role. For example, in morpho butterflies, which have bright blue iridescent wings, modified wing scales affect the brightness of the wings and increase the angle over which light is reflected; this presumably allows the butterflies to communicate over long distances. Bright coloration in nature is also often considered to be a warning signal, and thus structural color may play a role in signaling moths' or butterflies' unpalatability or toxicity to predators such as birds.
The reconstruction of the structural color in the fossil lepidopterans revealed that the insects possessed wings with an iridescent yellow-green upper surface trimmed with blue and brown margins. The findings suggest that their coloration may have served either as a mechanism of communication or as warning signal during activities such as feeding. When at rest, with the wings folded upward together, the color would have been concealed.
Evidence of structural color in 47-million-year-old lepidopterans suggests that biophotonic nanostructures are not a recently evolved phenomenon. Such knowledge of ancient structural color provides scientists with an opportunity to investigate the habitat preferences and communication and signaling mechanisms used by moths and butterflies of the Eocene Epoch (55.8 million to 33.9 million years ago). Further investigation could also shed light on the evolution of biological structures and their functional roles in ecology and behavior.


Low latency discussions in the professional video industry are everywhere and nowhere. Everywhere because the public and the professionals have embraced this cause. Nowhere because what could have been a breakthrough innovation is now a slow pace evolution.
Analysts and blog posts see technical threats in low latency OTT, especially on buffering issues. But they are happy to see Zixi, SRT or RIST emerge for contribution over the Internet. These are two sides of the same coin but people don't realize it. Instead our latest surveys show that media customers don't want to put money in low latency: the value/risk balance doesn't look good enough for managers to take any decision.
Of course video has many other uses (surgery, video surveillance, live quizzes, auctions, …) that benefits from these advances. But these are slower markets which don't have the same impact on the Internet.
2010, September: The GPAC team joins the MPEG-DASH forces. We implemented DASH packaging in our superstar MP4Box packager.
2010, October: Our implementation is reported as a MPEG contribution (our 500+ contributions). Our next contributions then would be toward metrics (including latency), testing, and keeping things simple.
2010, November: GPAC releases the first MPEG-DASH player. Both player and packager are open-source. See this excellent timeline by Nicolas Weil if you like to dig more into our industry's history.
2012, February: We release our entire MPEG-DASH dataset as open to anyone. The traffic has been massive and we found no industry support.
2012, March: We give the first training on MPEG-DASH at DTS headquarters in Calabasas, CA. This is a first of a series of trainings that would finance our R&D efforts. The focus of our customers was on latency and we helped them reduce it.
2013, April: GPAC releases an experimental live DASH audio/video encoder called Dashcast. The tool became very popular but due to maintenance concerns our professional customers were told to use GPAC Licensing DashcastX, a replacement using Signals. Reducing latency became a reachable technological objective.
2013, December: GPAC Licensing signs a contract with DASH-IF to ensure their profiles implementation.
2014, July: The GPAC team releases the first low latency OTT research article (accepted at IEEE) with an open-source implementation. GPAC Licensing presents the results as a blog article (astonishingly still the most popular content of our website to this day).
2015, March: to simplify experiments, Cyril Concolato releases a node.js implementation of a low latency HTTP server.
2015, August: presenting MP4Box.js to experiment with MP4 within the browser in a consistent way. This tool lowered drastically the latency of Web-based playback by controlling most of the media stack.
2016, January: with the coordination of Nicolas Weil, Akamai is the first CDN to accept low latency deployments.
2017, February: we cover the SuperBowl finals to some selected viewers as part of a deal with CDN. The results show that a CDN need to charge around 15% more to deliver properly low latency content.
Technical details from the 2014 article are available here. Please contact us if you wish to experiment with the latest version.


Santa's arrival in Bracknell launched a weekend of festive fun as busy Christmas shoppers were treated to the town's annual festive extravaganza.
Santa's arrival in Bracknell launched a weekend of festive fun as busy Christmas shoppers were treated to the town's annual festive extravaganza.
Festivities started on Saturday with a rickshaw parade through the town centre as Father Christmas and his elves made the journey to their grotto in Bentalls department store.
The fun continued in Charles Square with a live performance from the Bracknell branch of Glee Club UK, who sang a selection of the biggest and best Christmas tunes.
The newly-signed Bracknell-based RnB group 3RA also took to the stage for a home-coming gig following the recording of a mixtape album. The group is made up of brothers Ly and Phrase and their friend Davis, who all met at Easthampstead Park School, in Ringmead.
Davis, from Great Hollands, said it was great playing a gig in his home town.
He added: "It was brilliant. It was great to be back and see some familiar faces in the crowd.
"We've been really busy recording our mixtape and debut single which is out next spring, it's been a great experience.
Dancing and singing for the crowds throughout Saturday and Sunday were performing arts group Artemis, which showcased its award-winning dance routines.
Bracknell's Got Talent winner Joe Emmet wowed the crowd after blowing away judges during the final of the competition in May, before School of the Arts (SOTA) amazed spectators with a mix of music and dance to close the first day of festivities.
On Sunday, the ZingZillas visited Bracknell and put on a high-energy music show, getting the younger children involved in the celebrations.
Gemma Tizzard, of Bracknell Regeneration Partnership, said: "The fireworks are always fantastic because of Star Fireworks who do them for us, and these were just as great as always.


A Montessori education differs from a traditional daycare in many ways. One of the most important elements of a Montessori curriculum is the use of practical life activities. These activities are things that we do in our daily lives, such as cleaning, sewing, and gardening. Practical life activities serve many different purposes in a Montessori preschool and you typically won't find these in your average daycare.
Practical life activities help children develop concentration skills, as well as control and coordination of movement. Tasks as simple as serving a drink to someone enhance multiple skills. When a child pours water from a pitcher into a glass, several things are occurring. First, the child is developing fine motor skills in the hands, fingers and wrist from the pouring motion that is happening. Hand-eye coordination is also used as the child guides the pitcher towards the empty glass. Finally, the child is using concentration skills to make sure that the water is not spilling or overflowing out of the glass.
Children see adults as role models and imitate adult behavior. When a child has the opportunity to complete "an adult task," they feel important and gain a sense of pride. They develop confidence in their abilities and a sense of independence. Being able to meaningfully contribute to the home by sweeping kitchen floors or sewing a button back onto a shirt helps a child feel more positive about himself, self-sufficient – fulfilling their drive toward functional independence. This sense of purpose and improved self-esteem only increases as a child learns to master more challenging tasks.
As adults, we look at daily activities such as washing dishes and folding clothing as boring chores that are necessary in order to keep a clean home. For children, however, these chores are interesting activities that adults do every day. When you take the time to teach your child how to do these simple activities, you are showing them that you trust them and see them as a contributing member of the family.
Practical life activities prepare children for the real world by teaching and refining individual skills to be carried out in purposeful activities becoming productive members in society. While traditional schools and education tend to focus solely on developing reading and mathematical skills, Montessori schools believe that reality-based skills set the foundation for academic skills, and should be taught as well. A good Montessori school will use authentic materials in the learning environment. For example, shoes should be cleaned with real polish, and water should be poured into a real glass.
While materials should be real, it is best to use materials that are proportionate to the child. If a child is watering a plant, the handle must fit her hand and she must be able to easily carry the watering can. A child would not be able to lift a regular-sized watering can, so we use a smaller-sized can. The can is the same color, shape, and texture as the regular-sized one, but in a version that is the right size for a child.
At Silverline Montessori School, practical life activities are an important part of our curriculum. As an Associate Member School of the American Montessori Society, we provide a high-quality and authentic Montessori education to our students. Our locations in Pearland and Towne Lake Cypress are dedicated to preparing children for future success in both education and life. We strive to be a top tier Montessori preschool, exceeding the expectations that parents may have when seeking a preschool or daycare for their child.

It has been an annual tradition for me for the past 15 years to end the season with a truly epic ride. During my college days, that would involve a 200+ mile ride in the mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. In my older and busier days now, I have shortened the ride down to about 100 miles, but still with awesome climbing in my college playground of the NC/SC/GA tristate area. This year's ride included two major climbs — Whitewater Falls and Sassafras Mountain — with countless smaller hills in between adding up to over 11,000 feet of climbing. And at 108 miles, it was a few miles longer than the past few years as well.
Check out my power and heartrate stats below: I love that my highest heartrates are on the crazy awesome descents!!! Leading into the long descent from Sapphire down to Rosman, I saw a big truck coming up behind me on US64, so I hammered the last 200 meters or so to just stay ahead of it before the start. Then he didn't catch me until 15 miles later just before I turned onto US178 to head into Rosman! Plus for Sassafras Mountain, there is only one section where it is safe to really let it out, but that section happens to start with a 20% ramp before settling down to a nice 10-15% downhill gradient. I maxed out at 59.4mph staying above 50mph for almost 30 seconds! It definitely felt like the fastest I've ever been on a bike – especially since the road is rough. The bike feels like it is going to break up underneath you.

Dr. Vince Lewis, former principal of North High School, was 15 that spring.
Sometimes our focus on national events blinds us to similar developments occurring in our own towns and even neighborhoods. A good example happened in 1965 during the civil rights movement. The top billing news shows gave to the voter registration drive in Selma, Ala., obscured local expressions of support.
Dr. Vince Lewis, former principal of North High School and currently a church administrator for Community of Christ, was 15 that spring. His mother had been secretary to Robert Wright Sr., a successful attorney who led the local NAACP chapter, and to Dr. Stanley Griffin, whose wife Edna had successfully led a 1948 sit-in to desegregate the lunch counter at Katz Drug Store. While Lewis recalls no discussions about the civil rights movement with friends or at school, he was aware of what was going on.
Across the country, NAACP chapters were encouraged to send members to march in Alabama on March 7 to protest barriers to black voting. While some Des Moines members wanted to go, most couldn't spare the expense or the time off from work. As a result, the local NAACP chapter organized their own march in Des Moines, with support from several black churches.
This is how Lewis remembers it: "After Sunday morning church services, blacks began gathering on the west side of the capitol to begin a march down Locust Street to around Fourth or Fifth Avenue, where they planned to turn up to Grand and return to the capitol. Mom had given me strict orders not to participate. So, of course, I took my bicycle, rode to the capitol, and joined the march.
"When the column crossed the bridge, just like in Selma, the Des Moines police stopped the march and told the marchers to go back. And just like in Selma, a few Des Moines marchers challenged the police blockade, and police responded with force. I can't say what happened, but a few marchers were injured. I didn't know any of the them personally.
"The Des Moines Register had a short story that gave few details. It's probably safe to say that many, if not most, Des Moines residents didn't even know the event had occurred.
"In fairness, there is a background to the reaction of the Des Moines chief of police at the time. Good Park, near the intersection of Keo and University, had been a hot spot for local black radicals, demanding an end to discrimination and taking a much more aggressive stance than (Martin Luther) King's non-violence. Unfortunately, there had also been some vandalism in the area that was blamed on the radical element of the black protests. The police had feared that the March 7 march could turn ugly and lead to violence or vandalism to downtown stores.
"I am not trying to justify the police response to a peaceful protest, only to explain it in a time when the civil rights movement in the South was capturing national headlines."
With all eyes focused on the voting rights drive in the South, many Iowans were oblivious to discrimination here at home that existed even though it was officially illegal. Of the two downtown movie theaters, one required blacks to sit in the balcony. A local country club denied membership to blacks (and Jews and women). Several restaurants and an upscale tea room refused to serve blacks.
Local NAACP efforts were hampered by a common perception that racial discrimination was a problem of the South. But with incidents like the one Lewis remembers, the story comes home.
Tom Morain is past administrator of the State Historical Society of Iowa and currently serves as director of government relations at Graceland University in Lamoni.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has declared March as Iowa History Month. The Register will publish stories about our state's history throughout the month.


Marthe Rajchman (1910-1964) was a graphic designer and cartographer who prepared hundreds of visually striking maps for internationalist and socialist writers and journalists in Europe, Latin America and the United States through the interwar years. The daughter of Ludwik Rajchman, the Polish physician and founding director of UNICEF, Marthe studied at the International School in Geneva, where she was influenced by Paul Dupuy, and the Sorbonne in Paris, where she worked alongside experimental cartographer Jacques Bertin. Throughout her remarkable peripatetic life in southern Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Iran, the USA, and Greece, Rajchman prepared atlases on Europe, China and the 'far east', and the global conflict of World War Two in collaboration with her father and, among others, JMD Pringle, the Scottish-born Australian journalist, and Edgar Ansel Mowrer, the Pulitzer-prize winning American journalist.
Rajchman's experimental black-and-white maps for Sándor Radó's Atlas of To-day and To-morrow, published in London in 1938 by the socialist editor Victor Gollancz, extended themes explored in Radó's earlier work on the dangers of fascism and imperialism, using a cartographic style that bears comparison with the radical left-wing maps devised at the same time by the British journalist, artist and educationalist JF Horrabin.
Rajchman prepared the maps for the British journalist Shiela Grant Duff's Europe and the Czechs, published in London by Penguin in 1938. This remarkable volume, written in a matter of days, was a doomed attempt to warn of dangers of appeasing Nazi Germany and abandoning Czechoslovakia. Distributed free to all British parliamentarians on the day Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming 'peace for our time', Europe and the Czechs was initially vilified but subsequently became a huge best-seller.


Alright, it's time to share some Ukrainian cuisine with you. Since spring is a season of all fragrant and fresh herbs, I landed my choice on traditional Ukrainian piroshki recipe. In English- fresh herbs, egg and rice hand pies .
I'm very excited to share the family recipe with you. Luckily, my mom doesn't know English so she cannot read the next sentence. I tried other ukrainian and russian sweet dough recipes, and they were not as soft, fragrant, and delicious as hers. Now I'm confident to say this is the best piroshki recipe to make.
Piroshki, pirozhki, pyrizhky are both sweet and savory hand pies made from yeasted dough. They are an essential part of the Ukrainian and Russian cuisine. We make them all year round using different fillings. Honestly fresh herbs and the egg have always been my favorite filling.
I don't know why, but unfortunately, dill is not popular here, in the US. It is such a fragrant, delicious and versatile herb that pairs so well with different produce. If you never tried dill or didn't know what to do with it earlier, then this recipe is an excellent option to give it a chance. And it is a perfect time for it. Fresh herbs are the first thing that pops in spring. The price is dropping, and bunches are getting bigger. This makes me buy fresh herbs like crazy.
After I chop dill, parsley, scallions the aroma is released, and it always feels like spring to me. Combine it with boiled eggs, and I'm back in the kitchen with my mom and grandma.
I don't know what I like more the fresh and delicious vegetarian filling or soft and fragrant piroshki dough. I need to make a separate post with a sweet Ukrainian piroshki dough recipe. It is absolutely fantastic and versatile. You can use it for everything: pies, sweet hand pies, savory hand pies, dinner roll, etc. The list can go on and on. The prove is Ukrainian savory egg and fresh herbs pie. Same dough recipe, slightly different filling, and fancier presentation.
And the dough smell… There should be a sweet yeasted dough candle for sale. Sound weird, but I would buy it. The aroma that fills an entire place always brings warmth and comfort to my heart. It is a throwback to childhood. When you were busy with your kid's stuff and then suddenly you sense the warm and sweet smell. You drop everything and check what's cooking and patiently waiting to be first in a row to grab still hot, fresh from the oven baked goodies. I hope you guys know what I mean.
Anyway, there are two types of pyrizhky: fried and baked. This time I share baked piroshki recipe because it is little healthier choice and The Pure Taste is about lightened up recipes. Plus it is a much cleaner option. Shape them, put in the oven and in about 3o minutes you have a golden brown, soft and yummy ukrainian vegetarian hand pies.
Take them to work, enjoy during lunch or pack for a picnic. One thing is for sure; one hand pie is never enough! So prepare yourself to eat at least two.
Next time you shop and see big bunches of fresh herbs, grab them to make piroshki vegetarian recipe! And as always below are tips and tricks on how to make piroshki from scratch.
This recipe yields 12 palm size hand pies. If it is not enough, double the recipe and use two trays for baking.
How to Fold Your Bread Like a Pro is a helpful video illustration of my instructions in the recipe below.
The sweet dough is freezable. How to freeze yeast dough: After the dough has risen for the first time roll it into the rectangular shape. Fold it like a letter. Flip it over. With the shorter edge fold it once again the same way. You should end up with a small square. Place it back in the bowl with the sealed side down. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a day. It will slightly rise in the fridge. Take it from the refrigerator and wrap it in a parchment paper. Put it in a ziplock, mark the date and freeze for up to a month. When ready to use, take it from the freezer one day ahead of baking and place it in the fridge to thaw properly. When ready to bake, leave it at room temperature for about an hour.
Method 1: Fill a big bowl (smaller than the one with dough) with warm water. Place the bowl with dough on top of it. Cover with a towel and let the magic do its thing.
Method 2: Slightly preheat the oven, no more than 100 F. Place the bowl with dough in it. Cover with a towel and turn off the oven. Check back in about 1.5 hours.
The golden brown color secret: egg wash! We use it all the time. Egg wash recipe: whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of whole milk.
Dissolve yeasts in warm milk. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes to wake them up. When the yeast mixture has bubbles on the surface add egg, sugar, and salt. Briefly whisk everything together.
With the dough hook in a stand mixer or with your hands slowly start adding flour. The dough should be sticky at the beginning. Continue mixing until the dough becomes smooth and soft, about 7-10 minutes with a mixer or 15 minutes by hand. Start adding soft butter piece by piece. The dough will be sticky again. Continue mixing until you have the beautiful soft dough, about 7 minutes with a mixer or 10 minutes by hand. If the butter does not fully incorporate with batter, add a tablespoon of flour.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large bowl. Grease the dough slightly to keep it moist. Cover with towel and place in a warm place. Let it rise for 1-2 hours, depending on how warm your kitchen is. See tips and tricks on how to help the dough rise faster.
Gently deflate the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it into the rectangular shape. From the shorter edge make a fold to the middle of the rectangular. Place the other shorter edge on top of it (fold it like a letter). Flip it over. With the shorter edge fold it once again the same way. You should end up with a small square. With the folded side down place back in the bowl.
From this point, you may place the dough in the fridge for up to one day or let it rise in the bowl for 1-2 hours to use it the same day.
Roughly chop the boiled eggs. Chop all the herbs and scallions. Place eggs, rice, and herbs in the large bowl. Add melted butter, salt, and pepper. Mix everything.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly flour it. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each piece with a rolling pin or stretch it using your hands. Add a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each piece. Starting from the middle seal two sides together. Make sure the filling stays secure. Place sealed side down on baking tray.
For softer piroshky, let it rise for additional 20 minutes. I usually not patient enough and place them in the oven right away.
When ready to bake, brush hand pies with egg wash and place in the middle of the oven.
Bake for 27 minutes or until beautiful golden brown color.
Serve warm or chilled. Store in airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
Total Time does not include resting time, which is about 2 hours two times.

Eastern Germany, March 1964. The Great War has been raging for 50 years now. All you have ever known is the madness of the front lines and of men butchering each other. Suddenly, you are given a mission which, if successful, could put a stop to the carnage. Shoot 'em-up and action are the best means of restoring what everybody has long since forgotten about: peace.
1964. The Great War has been fought for 50 years now. The occidentals and Russo-Mongols forces are confronting each other on both sides of a front line that appears to be right in the middle of Europe. Mankind seems to be condemned to eternal warfare...
The head of the immense Russo-Mongol Empire, Baron Nikola Aleksandrovitch Ugenberg, also known as the Mad Baron, dreams of an independent pan-Mongol state, a Central Asian empire to rival Genghis Khan's and which would be the first step towards a worldwide empire. "If the madness and corruption of mankind continue to threaten the divine spirit in man's heart, to shed blood and to prevent all moral progress, then the Asian state must put an end to this destructive process and establish a sure and lasting peace", he said.
This megalomaniac is apparently developing a top secret tactical weapon which would enable him to win the war and realise his dream: to be the ruler of all humanity. His scientists are currently experimenting with atomic fission...
James Anderson, an officer of the Western forces who was born in the mud of the trenches, is given the mission of penetrating behind enemy lines and infiltrating the Baron's research complex. His aim: to search out and destroy heavy water samples.
However, there is quite a surprise waiting for him in the factory...
A gameplay which combines shoot 'em-up, action and reflection:
The player undertakes an infiltration mission and must possess combat skills as well as stealth if he is to survive as he penetrates behind enemy lines.
Depending on the circumstances, the player can choose between first and third person views.
The player must pass through 6 worlds in a Germany ripped apart by the front line: the Friedrich line (the Western front), the Anton Denikin line (the Russo-Mongol front), Wolfenburg (an enemy-occupied town), the Mad Baron's heavy water factory, the "Tzar Ivan" armoured train and the Reichstag in Berlin.
The player must face different types of enemy, all of whom have different fighting styles and AI: Kazakh troops, Sturmpionners (soldiers of the "Deutsche Reichskorps", Russo-Mongol allies), Siberians, Cadets from Baron Ungern's bodyguard and, especially, Consortium agents.
James must also watch out for all the dangers of a real war: machinegun bunkers, snipers, mines, tanks, aerial bombardments, muddy trenches, dogs carrying mines which are trained to attack the enemy, etc.
The player's weapons consist of a Russian short sabre, a Heckler & Koch MP-6 "Wotan" assault pistol with a silencer fitted, a Remington M910 "Bull's Eye" shotgun, a M203 40mm "Clovis" grenade launcher, fragmentation and smoke grenades, and antipersonnel and magnetic mines. And let's not forget his best friend, the Simonov K-s 12 "Snayperskaya" Russian marksman rifle, equipped with a telescopic sight which doubles its range in 'sniper' mode. He can also use mounted weapons (for example, heavy machineguns and mortars).
DRT : a real tool of propaganda
Through his adventure, James Anderson finds on his way Deutsche-Russische Tageschau (DRT). It is one of the most widely used media in the ruins that are Europe, 1964. This communication device is used on both sides of the border...Allied spies never miss a chance to use the enemy DRT's in order to find out all they can about what the enemy forces are up to.
On the allies side...
Born in 1924, Anderson is a war child, an orphan of unknown parents.
At 19, he volunteered for the army and advanced quickly through the ranks to become a second lieutenant. Now, in 1964, he has managed to stay alive and is a legendary figure in the trenches. He only has one motivating desire: to survive. Psychological profile: he is at breaking point...
Cecile Newcastel
After a remarkable start to a career, at 36, Cecile Newcastle is captain of the prestigious Royal Highlands Regiment, and immediate supervisor to Lieutenant Anderson.
While she has the respect of her men and relatively spotless record, she's still a bit uneasy, knowing that some lobbies are taking advantage of the ongoing war and have vested economic interests in its continuing.
On the Russo-Mongolians side...
Baron Nikola Aleksandrovitch Ugenberg
The Baron Nikolai Ugenberg was born in Estonia, in the late 19th century. Profiting from the civil war between the White Russians and the Bolsheviks, he manages to stabilize the Mongolian empire, build a powerful army and take power.
Mystic, staunchly Buddhist and inflexible, he is sickened by speculation and European politics. He intends to stretch his empire from Vladivostok to the Atlantic. Far from the traditional image of the tsarist officer and haunted by his dreams of greatness, the Baron is fiercely independent, an extreme rigorist, attached to his troops and cruel beyond all comparison.
Alternative history: between reality and fiction.
The game takes place in an imaginary environment that has been inspired by real events.
IronStorm takes real elements from the First World War (trenches, barbed wire fences, mines, gas warfare...) and combines them with more modern elements from the Second World War (radar, penicillin, automatic weapons, tanks...) as well as elements inspired by the Vietnam War (helicopters, lasers, electronics...).
The development team has taken great care to create a realistic environment, one which includes well-known items but also some much lesser-known ones: vehicles, weapons, uniforms, communication and warning systems, animals living in the trenches, protagonists' nationalities, etc. Developers also get inspired from the movie "Iron Cross " from Sam Peckinpath to reach this level of realism.
Particular care has been taken with the creation of sound effects representing warfare, and the end result is worthy of the landing sequence in "Saving Private Ryan". For example, the sound engineers came up a dozen or so sounds to convey the impact of bullets into different materials: wood, flesh, iron, concrete, mud, etc.
NVIDIA 'indefinitely postpones' new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card


InventHelp, a leading inventor service company, is working to submit Safeline to companies for their review.
While IV procedures continue to save lives and restore good health for many patients, the current infusion sets are not equipped to insure that expired lines are changed promptly. That is exactly why an inventor from Tenafly, N.J., decided to rectify that situation.
She developed a prototype for SAFELINE to improve patient safety for those being treated with intravenous (IV) procedures. As such, it provides professional health care workers with a visible reminder to change and discard an expired IV line. Thus, it keeps medical facilities in compliance with The Joint Commission regulations in regard to use of IV lines. At the same time, this novel invention is efficient, practical and easy to use. Other appealing features are convenience, effectiveness and an affordable price. It is, therefore, ideal for use by all medical facilities.
The inventor's professional experience inspired the idea. "Working as a professional nurse for over six years, I identified a commonly missed procedure in direct violation of The Joint Commission regulations," she said.

After checking several sources throughout the internet, the consensus appears to be the same. So here is the challenge coin history.
During World War 1, American volunteers took action to fill their newly formed flying squadrons. Many who joined were college students from Yale and Harvard. Some even quit mid-term to join the war. In one squadron, a lieutenant ordered medallions to be made and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed his medallion in a small leather pouch that he wore around his neck.
At one point, the pilots' aircraft was badly damaged by ground fire and the pilot was forced to land behind enemy lines. He was immediately captured by the Germans. Trying to discourage his escape, the Germans took all his personal identification except for the leather pouch that contained the pilots' medallion.
The pilot was taken to a small French town near the front. That very evening the pilot escaped from German captivity. However, the pilot was without identification.
The pilot took decisive action and succeeded in avoiding German patrols. He acquired civilian clothing and eventually reached the front lines. Throughout his quest, he encountered many difficulties, but eventually overcame the challenge and made it to a French outpost.
Unfortunately, saboteurs invaded that French sector. They sometimes portrayed themselves as civilians and wore civilian clothing. Not recognizing the pilots accent, the French thought him to be a saboteur and were ready to take action and execute him.
Having no identification to identify himself, the pilot did have his medallion. He took action again, and was able to show his executioners the "Challenge Coin," or medallion. One of the French captors recognized the squadron insignia on the challenge coin.
The French delayed his execution long enough for the pilot to confirm his identity. So, as the story goes, instead of shooting the pilot, they gave him a bottle of wine.
A challenger would ask to see the coin of a squadron member. If the challenged could not produce a challenge coin, he was required to buy the drink of choice for the member who challenged him. If the challenged member could produce his "Action" challenge coin, then the member who initiated the challenge was required to buy the drink. Hence the tradition of the challenge coin was started, and the tradition is still carried on today.
We have taken the challenge coin concept to the next level. Many business men and women who have served in different branches of the military and public sector such as police and fire departments are well aware of the significance and comradery that exists with the "Action" Challenge Coin.
Sports teams, Alumni's, Sororities, Police and Fire departments, and businesses recognize the value and team spirit that is achieved when their company or department has it's own Action Challenge Coin.
We know too, that these companies are on the move. They take action. Hence Action Challenge Coins. Just as many other companies have their own custom "Action" challenge coin, we will work with you throughout the whole manufacturing process, from design to delivery to fulfill your request for your own custom Action Challenge Coin.

NHS and Amazon: what is the real cost of this partnership?
Today, the British Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced a partnership between the NHS and Amazon to use the NHS's website content as the source for the answer given to medical question, such as "Alexa, how do I treat a migraine?" While we welcome Amazon's use of a trusted source of information for medical queries, we are however extremely concerned about the nature and the implications of this partnership.

As a professional drawing tablet, the UGEE UG - 2150 interactive pen display will beyond your expectation. Using the 21.5 inch IPS screen, it could give you more broad viewing angle. 2048-level high-pressure sensitivity makes you draw the more smooth line. Easy to operate, whether you are a novice or veteran, the UG - 2150 lets you show the better performance in the drawing. It has the advantage of energy conservation and considerate design.
● Adopt high-quality IPS screen, 21.5-inch large size delivers brilliant colors. 1920 x 1080 resolution makes the image more vivid, ensure the color's accuracy.
● Electromagnetic pressure sensitivity up to 2048 level, 12ms response time make sure that the original handwriting could show perfectly.
● With a stable and adjustable stand avoiding the screen from shaking and set up a different angle to suit different drawing habits.
● The electromagnetic pen is made of silicone material, good touch feeling give you a comfortable operation. Powered by 60mAh lithium-ion battery ( included ) so that it will never run down.
I've had it now for almost a year. Excellent product. I'm very happy with it. This is my third tablet. I had a Genius i608x to start with and then I got a Wacom Intuos Pro Small a few years ago and then I upgraded to this.
Pressure is great at 2048 levels. The accuracy is fantastic right out of the box. I just plugged it in and it worked. I have 3 monitors and I've had no problems mapping this as a 4th monitor. Well worth the investment if you don't want to spend the ridiculous $2000 on the Wacom Cintiq. No touch functionality, but it's not really a downside at this price point.
In case you were worried about it, there is no dust between the glass and the display at all. It's completely sealed and I've had no problems with it at all. Other tablet displays can have a problem with dust getting in this one does not have that.
-The colours are great! Almost as good as my Dell Ultrasharp monitor.
-After a bit of getting used to it, being able to see where you're drawing is amazing. So much better than using a normal desktop drawing tablet like the Wacom Intuos series. It's a lot more natural.
-PRICE. PRICE. PRICE. I got mine for $493.
-Shipping was quick. Only 13 days from ordering to arriving.
-The stand is pretty solid and really easy to adjust on the fly.
-Driver software just works right away on Windows 7 64bit. I had no problems installing it or getting it to run.
-Glass shows up fingerprints and smudges really easily. I would recommend getting a smudge guard for your drawing hand.
-This is a bit of an air gap between the glass which the pen touches and the actual display, but from what I understand this is also present on the Cintiq as it's a consequence of how the pen technology works. Doing the 9 point calibration in the driver software make the gap pretty much disappear though.
-Pens have to be recharged. Although I charged mine for just a couple hours on the first day and I haven't had to recharge it yet and there are two pens any way.
-The glass is shiny, which could be distracting for some people to draw on although I got used to it.
-The pen can squeak on the glass surface some times if the glass isn't clean.
-The pixel refresh rate isn't as good as other screens, so I wouldn't advise using this screen for gaming because there can be some ghosting. Although it hasn't made a difference at all when I use Photoshop.
-The driver software doesn't let you assign keyboard buttons to the buttons on the pen.
-If you've used a Wacom before it comes with different types of nibs such as a felt tip, spring tip etc. There are no alternative nibs for the Ugee tablets at the moment.
Overall it's just great value for the money. The $2000 Wacom Cintiq models are just too expensive for most people to justify and this provides most of the same functionality at a fraction of the cost. If you need a drawing display, don't hesitate to get this one.
Very good but not perfect.
Well, this tablet is very good, I work with it everyday and it gives me all I need. The only problems I found using it are the screen reflects the lights, and it's difficult to use it in a bright sunny day so, in some darker values works, I have to close my window to be able to use the tablet. Another issue of the screen is that it scratches easily. Although the scratches don't bother me much.
I loved that the one I bought came with 2 rechargeable pens, while I am using one, the other is charging. The battery life is good too.
The drivers are easy to install and use, they aren't annoying and don't brake the PC configuration like the Wacom ones (I used the bamboo and intuos 5 pro ones for years).
Overall a good tablet with a fair price, I liked to use it more than the Intuos and Bamboo from Wacom, but this comparison is unfair I think.
The biggest pro is the screen size. I'm upgrading from a Bamboo CTH 460 which has a drawing space of about 7 inches, so this is definitely a huge upgrade.
Other pros include ease of setup. Plugging in the cables was simple enough. The fact that the calibration is spot on as soon as I turned it on is nice.
The sensitivity is great. I'm able to make lines thick or thin as I see fit, based on pressure. Really, I'm just glad to have a tablet that I'll put to great use, and basically a second monitor that'll also be utilized in a number of ways.
No cons yet. I'll have to use it more, but I really like it so far.
Планшет достаточно мобилен, учитывая его габариты и вес - при желании можно крепить на кронштейн и это будет идеально для маленького рабочего пространства. Это отличный и, наверное, самый лучший аналог Wacom Cintiq. Поверхность экрана тактильно приятна, визуально очень комфортно работать - рабочая площадь просто огромная.Отклик достаточно быстрый, для матерого иллюстратора не чем не уступает по скорости, в отличии от Wacom. Очень рад этой покупке и в дальнейшем буду еще заказывать в этом магазине. Рекомендую всем!
Не обнаружил за все время пользования. Надеюсь, ресурс пользования планшета будет очень большой - время покажет. Недостатков нет.
Works decently as a main display too. The adjustable stand allows for a wide amount of angle variation.
- Came with quite a strong "electronics" smell, I feel like it is better to air the room for a few days until the smell is gone.
more than a year ago and still working great!
I have no complaints except for the screen so bright, even I justed its screen still too bright for me until your eyes get use to it, all in all not a deal breaker, it's a great buy for this item, I apologized for my review that took more than a year to post lol, any one who is interested in buying a pen monitor please consider ugee2150!
first of all ! price.
pressure works well with all the software i tested it on " photoshop - sketchbook - zbrush "
the screen is glossy so it reflects but when you turn it on, its light over takes the reflection so i didn't mind it at all.
the glossy finish squeaks some times especially if you press hard on it " with a film u can cancel that "
the screen couldn't work with another monitor while working on sketchbook " read online that its sketchbook issue and can be fixed if u have the same resolution on both monitors but didn't test it"
Arrived fast, without any defect, very big show digital tablet does what it promises in the description of the product, 2 pen of great pressure now only make several digital arts I am satisfied by the attendance and the product.
Could come a protective film is a glove for drawing only this.

I want to look at maternal knowledge of malaria prevention and under-5 parasitemia in the Malawi 2017 MIS but I am unsure of which datasets to merge. The IR file contains questions on malaria prevention, but the KR file does not have the result of the malaria blood smear test. I originally merged the HR and IR files but noticed that there were several variables measuring the same thing. I am now stuck between 1) merging the IR file to the PR or 2) merging the KR to the PR. I just want to link the variables on maternal knowledge of "protection against malaria" to under-5 child blood smear result. Please advise.
Thanks for your question. What you need to think through is "what is your unit of analysis". Are you wanting your unit of analysis to be women or children? This impacts the type of merge that you do. In what you describe it sounds like your unit of analysis is the woman, which means your base file is the IR file.
To examine the woman's knowledge in relationship to her child's parasitemia status you will want to merge the PR file into the IR file (each row is information about a woman). The PR file has all the malaria testing information for children under 5. You need to keep in mind that there are women in the IR file who don't have a child under age 5 who was tested for malaria and conversely you have children in the PR file who were tested for malaria but who don't have a mother who was interviewed as part of the women's questionnaire (mother is dead, mother wasn't in the household, the kid was visiting, etc).
If you want the children to be your unit of analysis/denominator you would then merge the PR file into the KR file (each row is information about a child). The malaria knowledge questions are also in the KR file but keep in mind that the unit of analysis in the KR file is children, so this is knowledge of the mother linked to the kid.
Thank you so much for your reply. This information was extremely helpful. My unit of analysis is children, so I went ahead and merged the KR and PR files. Thank you again for your help!
I have another question about the country-specific variable s504d. The questionnaire asked women "how can someone protect themselves against malaria?" Some of the responses were "burn leaves, avoid drinking dirty water, avoid eating bad food and avoid getting soaked in the rain" which seem to be traditional practices that are not supported by scientific literature. Did the 2017 Malawi indicator survey classify these practices as false malaria prevention methods? Also, when can I find more information about how this question was designed?

Firemen's Memorial
Riverside Drive and W. 100th Street
The Firemen�s Memorial (1913) in Riverside Park is one of the most impressive monuments in New York City. The memorial comprises a grand staircase, a balustraded plaza, a fountain basin, and the central monument. Made of Knoxville marble, the monument is a sarcophagus-like structure with a massive bas-relief of horses drawing an engine to a fire (the original was replaced by a bronze replica in the 1950s); to the south and north are allegorical sculpture groups representing �Duty� and �Sacrifice,� for which the celebrated model Audrey Munson (1891-1996) is said to have posed. The monument's inscription reads: "TO THE MEN OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT / OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK / WHO DIED AT THE CALL OF DUTY / SOLDIERS IN A WAR THAT NEVER ENDS / THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED / BY THE PEOPLE OF A GRATEFUL CITY / ERECTED MCMXII". This memorial is one of more than a dozen monuments along Riverside Drive, including sculptures of Franz Sigel (1907), Joan of Arc (1915), Samuel Tilden (1926), Lajos Kossuth (1930), and Eleanor Roosevelt (1996).
